gatordev 219 Posted August 26, 2015 Did some thinking on your request BagPiperGuy and you and other people are going to have to realize that weapons, especially rockets and Hellfires, start to load up a bird real fast (I'm sure gatordev can confirm), so if I was going to do an armed Knighthawk, you're gonna have what's in the pic, a max of two dudes in the back. Besides you'd be amazed how 12 heavily armed and laden bubbas start to do the same in loading down a bird, so any form of a "Black Hind" is out of the question. Mater of fact the DAPs have that massive fuel tank in the back so that is what you get, capabilities are reduced, i.e. you get a tradeoff between combat load, performance, and so on. So when I get to it only two bubbas will be in the back (besides in reality there is decided backblast hazard with the rockets and Hellfires anyway, so what the illustration shows, is what you get. Or if that was nixed because of safety issues then there won't be a version. Yes, you can argue A3 doesn't effectively model backblast and damage (though ACE3 does) it's still not realistic, so that's pretty much where I sit on that issue. The images that BagPiperGuy posted are of a Block III Sierra that I had mentioned earlier, so in that SUW config, it's going to be employed as a shooter/pouncer and not as a mini-van for high-speed dudes. Having two pilots and two crewman is a pretty accurate representation of what would be onboard (although I'd argue they wouldn't have 3 crew-served guns onboard, just 2). That said, it would not be unusual to have a B3 Sierra that has the bat wings attached but with no rockets/missiles onboard. Instead it would just have two crew-served guns in the back (GAU-21 or M240) and an aux fuel tank. In that case, having seats/cargo spots would be realistic (independent of actual modeler workload to make it happen in-game). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EricJ 763 Posted August 26, 2015 Well I think for gamers who "Know Everything" that's good enough for me, I'm sure everybody wants to throw in a full Light Infantry Company and enough ordnance to level the whole map (and fuel to last hours) I'll keep it limited to what's shown on the images. More than likely players will have to carry a 240 or equivalent for such stuff like that. Give players a quarter inch, and they'll take 93 million miles. Besides I'm sure any other stuff I just don't want to bother with either. Have to keep it sane as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gobi42 15 Posted August 26, 2015 Unfortunately no, I had actually tried that for 7-75 and the answer is a flat out NO. And that is because of Game Logic and how they handle vehicles and backpacks. So if I could I would have many moons ago (is a great idea) but no, until BIS makes a vehicle (that's one reason methinks) able to be put into an Inventory (broken down, or assembled, etc.) then I'd do it, or more pointedly, have done it already. Well good to know. Thanks for the info. At least i know now i'm not the only one who thinks it'd be a great addition in game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EricJ 763 Posted August 26, 2015 Given advancements in tech it's not surprising but given engine limits there's nothing that can be done. Maybe scripting but overall it'll still not work unless the engine can support it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EricJ 763 Posted August 26, 2015 Also... with 1.50 Initiative (so far anyway) AT gunners DO fire their AT4s at you with the AllowagainstInfantry=1; setting so... keep that in mind when the PIF RPGs get in your hands. EDIT: Note that they'll drop the unused tube and roll with their Varmin though. Also did some loadout fixes, changed it to two RGOs instead of one RGO and one RGN. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EricJ 763 Posted August 27, 2015 Just a short video showcasing some PK stuff, weapon sound is BIS so it kinda sucks but so far I've set the weapon at 700 rpm (as Wiki said 650-750 so I thought in the middle would be good)): Also in the night portion is to show the now visible green tracers (only had to give it a scale and they showed up, for the Russian 7.62x39mm (AK and PK).

bars91 956 Posted August 27, 2015 Just FYI: that's not RPK but a PKM in 7.62x54R (full-size rifle round not the x39 intermediate) ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EricJ 763 Posted August 27, 2015 Cool, i"ll fix that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EricJ 763 Posted August 28, 2015 It was brought to my attention by somebody on Steam that my grenades were stepping on other mods grenades... (i.e. you couldn't use other addon grenades, etc.) so tomorrow I'll upload a fix (sometimes stuff like this takes a few hours to knock out) I'll upload a fix for that as while it's not killing people, it's something that needs to be addressed. So you'll get some things (like that RPG) quicker. I had hoped to develop more of the rounds, but instead you'll get the normal HE round for now, as there are a few more I can mess with, as well as other things.

EricJ 763 Posted August 28, 2015 Okay definitely tomorrow, in fixing one issue I also fixed another with the M38s, so now it won't step on other explosive satchels and the like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EricJ 763 Posted August 28, 2015 Also with the new patch, the PIF guys will have some civilian wear as well (general thug look, or the cliche "Freedom Fighter" look, etc.). I had thought of it earlier but overall with the Iranian face, and Caucasian arms... didn't look right. Now that they fixed that (though LODs need to still be fixed). Overall mostly they'll have a backpack, or some web gear like an LBV harness and so on. That'll be for RC65 though, as getting this fix out is more important, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

officeramr 269 Posted August 28, 2015 Love the railed RPG, just what i was looking for, nice clear picture http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/693906639092609374/D521C48FDFE3050399B1A7DE7BB454D0ACCBE0A3/ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EricJ 763 Posted August 28, 2015 Nice :D I've seen some Polish or Czech ones (not sure, all white people look alike) and that's pretty much what they have, not so much the sight but a simple reflex sight rather than the iron that it's normally equipped with. I've been pondering a laser mount (or flashlight, though I don't see you clearing rooms with an RPG... but to each their own) now that I got that fix out at least. Started messing with the the "Persian Islamic Faction Supporter" unit, which is a civilian unit with a CSAT vest and an AK, some mags, and a couple RGOs. Again it's just something to offset the camo-heavy units and just have a bunch of "militia" oriented stuff to shoot at as well. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EricJ 763 Posted August 28, 2015 Doh! Thanks Foxhound! Started on the "militia" so to speak and I'm trying to get the random selection (should work as the current build just finished, so hopefully that'll work): Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EricJ 763 Posted August 28, 2015 Okay apparently the random scripts don't work, so far I've come up with 7 variations, which is basically some Iranian skinned dudes wearing what Greek people will wear. Granted in the real world fashion varies.... I think I'll be okay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
